Mood: Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance
Louis shivered as he hugged himself and kept walking. His lip had stopped bleeding but it was throbbing with a dull ache.
Jace was walking with him, bringing up the events that had just happened, making new tears brim at his eyes. A few minutes passed and he noticed he was lost.
He doesn't know where he is. He looked at the street signs, trying to see if any of them jog his memory. They don't. He sighs in defeat and his phone rings in his pocket. He pulls it out and sees a picture of Harry on the screen. He answers it.
"Lou? Hey baby, are you okay? Where are you? Niall called me and said you just ran off." Harry asks into the phone and Louis frowns. What if Harry's mad at him?
"I-I...I'm fine." Louis says even though he's cold and alone and lost.
"Lou, tell me where you are. I'll go pick you up and then we can stay inside and watch Grease." Louis smiled a bit at the thought that Harry remembered his favorite movie.
His feet keep walking aimlessly and he doesn't answer Harry.
"Baby, are you okay? Can you talk to me please?" Harry asks and Louis sighs into the phone. He turns the corner and looks at the street name. He tells Harry where he is and the boy promises to be there in fifteen minutes.
Louis hangs up and leans against the wall.
He only gets a few seconds of silence before he hears someone whispering. He turns his head to find a man that couldn't be older than thirty coming out of an alley. Two other men followed and Louis looked down at his shoes.
It was dark outside and he was scared. He thought the men had left but when Louis looked up, they were standing at the mouth of the alley, sharing a cigarette.
"Hey kid." One of them says and Louis looks at the first man he saw. He was tall, maybe over six feet with a scruffy red beard.
"Me?" Louis asks and the man nods.
"You look oddly familiar." He says and the men next to him snicker. Louis looks down again but the man laughs.
"Yeah, he looks like the kid we're supposed to be following. Louis, was his name." Louis freezes at the sound of his name. Following him? Who wanted to follow him?
"I think it's him. Glad we found you. We lost you when you went into the ice rink with your friends. But you're here. And you're alone. That's lovely." Louis pushes himself from the wall and turns to start walking opposite of the men.
"Hey! Where're you going?" One of the men asks, jogging up to Louis.
"M-My boyfriend is waiting for m-me."
"I don't like pretty boys that lie." The man says and before Louis can respond, the man has a hand clasped over his mouth. Louis' eyes widen and he struggles to run away but the other men grip his arms and legs, pulling him into the alley they came from.
Louis thrashes against them but they push him against the wall, punching and kicking him repeatedly.
"Okay, Max. He just said to rough him up a bit. Let's go." One of the men says and the one who is called Max shakes his head. Louis was dizzy, his head throbbed and he couldn't move.
Silent tears fell down his cheeks as he begged for them to stop. Where was Harry? He needed Harry.
"I just want to have some fun." Max says and punches Louis one last time before everything blacks out.
****
Harry pulled up to the street that Louis said he was on. He wasn't there. He parked his car on the corner and stepped outside.
"Louis?" Harry calls and no one answers. Maybe he got cold and made his way into one of the shops to warm up. All of the shops were closed.
He walks for a few moments before he hears a muffled cry. Harry froze.
"Lou?" He turns towards the noise and finds himself at the mouth of an alley. He heard another sob, this time louder. It was Louis.
Harry ran into the alley and froze at the sight in front of him. Louis was lying on the floor, bruised and bloody, his clothes completely gone.
Harry fell onto his knees in front of the small boy.
"Lou, princess--" he chocked on a sob as he cradled the boy onto his lap. He took off his coat and draped it over him.
"H-Ha--"
"Shh. I'm here. W-What happened?" Harry cries and pulls out his phone. He dials the ambulance and tosses his phone onto the floor after he gives them their address.
"H-He--I didn't know--they--" Louis sobbed and Harry was visibly shaking, tears falling freely as he collapsed against the boy. He held him tightly wanting to protect him but not knowing how.
He cried and cried and even when the ambulance came and took loaded Louis onto it. Harry forgot about his car and rode in the ambulance with him.
"I'm here. I'm here. Don't worry, I'm here." Harry says even though Louis has gone unconscious. He's losing his grip on reality, and when they reach the hospital, he can't help but vomit outside the building.
The doctors pay him no mind, taking Louis to an emergency room. Harry hears something about needed stitches and losing a lot of blood and he vomits again.
Harry can't even get the strength to walk into the hospital but when Jay shows up with worried eyes, he collapses against her, screaming and crying.
Not his Louis. Why his Louis?
